Power of P-08 ammo in the 1920's

You guys got me reassessing my own loads, My target was 1200FPS, and there's no reason for it! I load for plinking/target shooting, and it makes sense to load for minimum function power.

Mine was the opposite with the same Win white box. Indoor range with the target ~25 feet. Good grouping but six or more inches high. Only shot a few rds as I found the pistol was missing the locking bolt spring. Oops........

Hi:

Somewhere, I remember reading the actual distance the Lugers were sighted for. I believe it was 25 meters.

Can anyone verify this?

Thanks!!
